I’ll use the cliche meme of “I was today years old when I learned where the name comes from”. Just made the connection when I read this article, and I love Pulp Fiction.
But I too am not a native English speaker. Just always accepted the clunky acronym as the reason for the name.
Why does Athens have a USA flag and English text?
Two things can be true at the same time. Palestine is a horrible place for us queer folks, and Israel is committing atrocities against the Palestinian population.
I remember a talk a few years ago where someone engineered controlled detonations to destroy a single server in a rack without damaging any surrounding equipment. Was pretty fun to follow the engineering.
Fuck shopping centre employees amirite folks?
I discovered Tinariwen through one of their live recordings. Pretty amazing stuff.
Hello Melbourneians? Melbourneites? Person from almost the other side of the world here.
How come this community is so active on Lemmy? I haven’t seen any other city pop up on my feed as often as yours. You regularly get more than a hundred comments each day in these discussion threads.
Oh for sure. When I joined, servers and communities dedicated to specific countries or even cities had a bit of activity. Used to see a lot of German, Austrian, french, Dutch, Australian and NZ content in my feed. Now only the Germans and Australians, sometimes.
It is though? Sure, you can’t just throw it on a compost pile and wait a few weeks for it to rot away. That’s why leather is processed (tanned) in the first place, otherwise it would be a pretty useless material.
But it will biodegrade. In a few years instead of thousands of years like plastics.
And if they have access to your computer, they can get much more useful information, both for extortion and surveillance.
If someone has enough access to your system to covertly use the camera, then the camera is the last thing you need to worry about.
Nobody is interested in looking at you. Getting your payment data, or private data, that is much more interesting.
Fair. I would claim that’s saying something by itself.
It’s not just here, it’s everywhere. That’s why people like me are so sour about it.
Nein danke, ihr seids nicht das einzige deutschsprachige Land.
No worse than all the tech startup names tbh.
Having never tried it before, I want to believe that Spam Musubi is kind of acceptable.
Du bist ein ziemlicher Optimist wenn du glaubst es kommt was Besseres nach nur weil der Putler weg is. Alle hohen Tiere dort sind von Putin approbiert und demnach um nix besser.
Dunno if you’re German or Austrian or something, but in Vienna there is a Ziegelmuseum whose curator studies the history of bricks, how they were made and used and whatnot. They have a long list of brick makers in Austria, when they were active and so on.
If you’re in another country, they could maybe help get you in contact with a historian local to you.
Could help you learn more about your mystery brick.
